susTaining high PerformanCe
Long distance performance from
your PocketWizards depends on the
orientation and position of the units.
Whenever possible, try to maintain a line
of sight between the units and keep the
antennas parallel. Make sure they are not
near any large metal, concrete, or high
water-content objects. People and trees
are mostly water! Make sure they are not
blocked by these objects or by hills.
Maintain at least 50 cm distance between antennas. Avoid direct antenna contact with
anything metallic. “Dead spots” have a number of causes, but the solution is usually
the same: move the unit a few centimeters or meters away from the problem area
Mount the remote PocketWizard so that the antenna is
completely above the top edge of the flash pack and away
from any metal (light modifiers, stands, etc.).
